New installation after glibc changes to /lib
The installation media is now fairly old and I'm unable to get a "pacman -Syu --ignore glibc && pacman -Su" to work after a clean install. It attempts to update pacman first, but fails on the glibc update. None of the existing help (wiki and forums) have worked either. Is there a recommended set of commands to get a system up-to-date from a clean install?

Re: New installation after glibc changes to /lib
yes. say no to upgrading pacman initially and update the system first, then at the end upgrade pacman. More info here:

Next time use the netinstall image and you won't have to worry about this.

+1, netinstall is the way to go until a new installer comes out
